Refresh ISPF Panel to display updated field value

[raveendra321]

Hi All,

I am playing around with REXX and ISPF panels and trying to figure a solution to meet one of my requirements.

Description :-
I have an 2 ISPF panels. One which take inputs from the user and the next displays the statistics after a lot of processing. My Code first displays the first panel say PANEL-A. Once the user has provided the inputs there is a lot of processing which actually holds/locks my session for a while and then displays the statistics on panel say PANEL-B.
Requirement :-
I want to display a message "Please wait for a while" on Panel-A after the user provides all the input data ie., during processing.

Here is how my REXX code looks like -

"ISPEXEC DISPLAY PANEL(PANELA)"
... <Hell a lot of processing> ....
"ISPEXEC DISPLAY PANEL(PANELB)"

PANEL-A: Contains a variable which holds spaces initially and is updated with "Please wait for a while" in the PROC/REINIT.

This seems to be a common requirement. Can anyone please help me out with this.

Thanks,
Raveendra.
